Microwave Sticky Tofu Ribs

[kaylar]

I adore these!  My alterations are two fold...I use Jamaica
Jerk Seasoning in the sauce and to prevent the micro mess use
a baking dish.  this cuts down on the splatter and keeps the
sauce on the strips. 

When the strips are done, put them in another container, scrap
the excess sauce from the side of the baking dish, then put it
into soap water...clean up is easy.

These were definitely really good.  Just make sure you have enough sauce left over because it's so much better with the sauce!

I was hesitant about trying this, but I'm glad I did.
It didn't seem like just coating the tofu with the bbq sauce mixture would flavor it well enough... but surprisingly, it did!  There was no need to let it sit for a long time before popping into the microwave.

I also never had bbq sauce with orange juice in it... but that turned out being yummy. :-)

I had a half a block of tofu left over from another recipe, so I used that. (halved the recipe)


It sure turned out well!

This is such an easy and yummy way to prepare tofu.  I am definitely going to experiment with this technique.  Thanks!

i haven't made these yet but plan to, so i'll say how they've turned out once i do.
just thought that i'd mention that if you don't have a cover it and it splatters all over the microwave it is alot easier to clean off if you put boil watter in the microwave first. doesn't really matter how long, just until it comes off easier.

I loved these.  Of course, bbq + tofu can't = bad.  I used my favorite bbq sauce plus a little soy sauce.  I really enjoyed the orange juice flavor.  It gave the ribs a slightly Asian flavor which worked well since I paired it up with Ginger-Soy Sauce Potatoes. http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=20766.0

Overall, this was quick and easy.  I don't have an aversion to microwaves, so this makes a quick and super easy meal when I don't feel like crankin on the oven.

These were pretty awful. The only thing I did that differed from the recipe was omit black pepper (because I had none) and they came out way too soft no matter how much extra time I gave it in the microwave or let it sit. The amount of orange called for was way too much and overpowered everything else. I've spent half an hour trying to save this dish but it can't be salvaged. Two questions: How did this get a five star rating from anyone? How in the world did you make it look so deceptively good in the picture?
It MIGHT turn out alright if extra firm tofu was used instead of just firm and a ton of other changes were made, but there are too many other great veg BBQ recipes to make me want to give this another try.

Ran into some problems with this recipe, mainly concerning the fact that i only had paper plates and a very weak and dying microwave.  Not bad though after all the hassle and mess.  Tasted like BBQ tofu.  Very nice texture.
